ive heard neogaf mentioned quite a bit, but ive never cared to check them out. i use to frequent ign before they started slobbing all over naughty dogs dikk

Don't check that site then, though I do think that ND are technical wizards that site takes it a little too far.

.....I'm salty they jacked some of my weekly Naruto smileys.....

Anyhow, enough about them and let's start turning the Arcadium into our own gaming hub without relying too much on those sites. MWN has his own site but his forum is Larry Holmes status, maybe we can talk him into making the Arcadium the default hub for community discussion from his site. I'm just throwing ideas out there though...

Like GAF or hate it's still a great source of gaming news :yeshrug: yes there are a ton of hipster gamers who think every game should be dark souls or that any game with a budget over a million dollars is trash. I go there for the news though and I just avoid all of the gay threads

The problem is GAF has a bunch of industry insiders there. that's why its so prominent. I don't know about you but i'm just a guy that plays games in his spare time. I have no connections or inside knowledge of the video game industry.

Evilore has been offered at least 5 million to hand over that site to other companies and refused them so he can keep control of it.

Because a actually black dude in the industry was posting about his experience. I figured this was thread worthy to find out what goes on behind the scenes with our hobbies :yeshrug:
Well sir, let me break down what is going on at TheColi.com
You see, what you posted was probably the first real decent thread you have ever made :manny:
I've done things like this often tho, and everytime it gets shot down just like this
Neofag, at least they up front with there racism. Here, they try to act like they are down for the cause while pushing negativity amongst ourselves. Who, well, those "types" but the issue is those "types" are also in power here. So its covert, but the results are the same. Thats why this thread has taken on a "we hate neogaf" angle instead of the very important topic that this thread SHOULD be about
Look at the replies, its like they purposely ignored what you posted :smh:

Yes, I will be attacked for speaking the truth, what else is new...

Well sir, the Arcadium will NEVER be what you just proposed. This place is actually worse than Neogaf
I've preached how this place was turning into neogaf jr. in 2012.
Any regular can c/s that. What's being done about it? Well, I complained and got turned away by the members of this community who do not contribute. Blatantly said "Yall just gonna survive letting Dboy jack neogaf threads?"
This isn't some recent trend, its BEEN the norm here for over a year now. But there is a light at the end of this gaming tunnel I promise. Next month bruh :banderas:
they get the scoop....pretty much the only reason I read it.
They really don't. Its just the only place you may know about so thats why you feel the way you do
Me, I'm now involved in this shyt as you are somewhat aware of
I been following this shyt since single digits in age. Quarterman is like a brother to me
So since this is my passionate hobby, I find out everything talked about on neogaf way before neogaf talks about it
Not every topic of course, but the majority of them
The thing about neogaf, people in the industry who can't speak on things.. they can if its discussed on neogaf sometimes
Key word, discussed

The Arcadium frowns on discussions. The console war once provided a ton of information round here :to:

Polygon is trash. Once they gave THe Last of Us a 7.5, they were exposed as a Microsoft newsrag and lost credibility. They were actually financed by MS.
Oh. I mostly look at their youtube page to check for the overviews.

fukk NEOGAF AND all the racists on the internet.. its such a huge problem in video gaming :snoop:

Ive had my youtube account for 2 years and I pissed off 1 website and their members started leaving racist ass shyt on all my videos including my old ones :snoop:

and when I stream on twitch people would call me all types of racist shyt all the time, add in the fact I listen to rap, I had to time out a lot of people...

its sad in 2014 that something like MUSIC and RACE is such an issue still... the ironic part is that I know no one who goes to rock n roll / metal forums and troll them or talk shyt about their music , or go to white sites like neogaf and make fun of white people..


shyts disgusting :pacspit:

I've heard sony fanboys say that whenever a game they overrate doesn't get the review they want it
You said the same thing when Uncharted 3 got a negative review.. remember how you guys got all bent out of shape
Then you all passed on the game :mjlol:

Anyways, can you back up your claim. Cuz I have never seen it done :popcorn:

I know you not talking about hairlines bruh. Ken done whipped your ass :ufdup:
But you know whats funny about your comment to me.. first off, it coming from you :mjlol:
Means the world got to you, made you hate yourself :damn:

Me, I didn't JUST get a big forehead. I was born with it. At the local pool the lifeguards loved me but they would still say things like "Go head 4-head" and that shyt used to piss me off :laff:
But you know what, I grew up. I was a model for a few years (Tru Story)
And I've dated tons of woman over my lifetime, you know what. I've never had a woman outside of when I was a pre-teen say anything negative about my big head
In fact, I've had tons of woman say they find that sexy :win:

So have fun on the internet, talking about myself or Lebron's hair while you dudes get it in on Dota.
Scared to post pictures of yourselves
Yadda Yadda Yadda :ez: :ufury: :ufury2:

I only lurk Gaf just for gaming news and that's it. The rest of the threads on the gaming side boil down to either "Anything lower than 60 fps is a slideshow" or a thread dedicated to sucking on Sony's cock, hell I lowkey suspect that Sony funds that site:patrice:.

I wouldn't ever wanna post on there though, 80 percent of the shyt we say on here would get you permd on Gaf, it's like walking on a minefield.
